St Donats, Vale of Glamorgan: Post-medieval silver seal matrix (05.9) Date: 17th century Description: A silver seal matrix, very worn, engraved with what appears to be the motif of a bird (?swan or pelican) with long neck, wings behind the head, possibly in flight, facing right on the matrix. Below the bird is a simple representation of a fence or hurdle. Discussion: In form and style, this is a well-known post-medieval type. The form of the bird and the arrangement of the design is reminiscent of 17th-century representations of birds on seals; the openwork grip is simil…

Llantwit Major, Vale of Glamorgan: Gold strip (06.25) A gold fragment is of octagonal section. Each face has an irregular oval panel (16.2mm x 4.3mm, 13.5mm x 4.4mm), which has been formed by hammering the strip. Further hammering on each end of the panels, has resulted in the thinning of the strip and has also caused the strip to widen at these points. The strip may have been deliberately thinned at the ends to facilitate cutting. The thicker of the two ends (2.7mm) displays a number of chop or cut marks on each face, indicating that the strip was deliberately cut at this position.…

The band is inscribed on the inside Fear God love me, and bears the touch-mark AP (conjoined at the base). Dimensions: Weight: 5.71g. Internal diameter: 19mm Note: The dating of such rings can be difficult. The style of the lettering is post-1650, and it is probably early 18th-century in date (again based on the beginnings of a fluid letter style). The only AP mark noted by I Pickford, Jackson's Silver and Gold Marks (1989), and A G Grimwade, London Goldsmiths 1697-1837. Their Marks & Lives (London, 1976), is Abraham Portal, dated 1749. However the mark on this ring differs slightly, …
